Web Design / Lincoln

Web design for Lincoln businesses that are worth the climb

Lincoln is a historic cathedral city with a loyal local market and a steady flow of visitors. Customers check a firm online before they get in touch, and a templated website tells them nothing about you. I design and build the one that does.

Why Lincoln firms call me

Web design for Lincoln businesses

Lincoln is a cathedral city in Lincolnshire with two universities, a strong tourism and heritage trade, an engineering and energy background, a busy professional services sector and a customer base that stretches across the county. Customers compare options online, and a generic site makes a capable business look ordinary.

Built to be found by people searching in Lincoln

Pages that say plainly what you do and where you do it, structured data that matches your Google Business Profile, and a site fast enough on a phone for someone searching on the move.

Custom, not a theme

Designed around your services and your customers, then built in custom WordPress, so the site does what your business needs rather than what a template allows.

Designed with a point of view

Layout, type and imagery chosen for your business and audience rather than dropped into a stock theme, so the site feels as individual as the work behind it.

One person accountable, start to finish

The person you brief is the person who builds it, and the person you call when something needs changing a year from now.

In a city that people travel to see, the website should be worth the visit.
What changes

The Lincoln website most firms get vs. the one built for you

The common approach

  • A template with Lincoln swapped in
  • Promises of page one with nothing to back them up
  • A fee that grows as the project goes on
  • No one to call once it is live

How I do it

  • A site that looks like your business, not a template
  • Honest advice on which searches are worth competing for
  • A clear scope and price agreed before work starts
  • Support from the person who built it
Questions people actually ask

FAQ

Why hire a web designer in Lincoln rather than a large agency?

With an agency you get an account manager and a rotating team. Here you get the person who actually writes the code, which matters most when something needs changing two years after launch.

Is a web designer different from a WordPress developer?

Not here. The same person designs the site and writes the code, so nothing is lost between a designer's mock-up and a developer's build, and there is one person to ask when something needs to change.

Do you work with Lincoln businesses even though you are based in Watford?

Yes. I am based in Watford, about 109 miles away. Most of the process is calls and shared screens, which works the same from Watford as from anywhere else, and I can travel to you at the key moments, such as the kick-off and the launch.

Which parts of Lincoln and the surrounding area do you cover?

Lincoln city centre, Bailgate, the Brayford, North Hykeham, Washingborough and Branston are all fine. Where your customers are matters more than where your office is.

What kinds of business do you build for?

Tourism and hospitality businesses, engineering firms, professional services, clinics, trades and independent retailers are all a good fit. The common thread is a business that wants a site built around how it actually wins work, rather than a template with its name on it.

Will a new website help me show up in Lincoln searches?

A properly built site gives you the foundations: fast pages, clear service and location content, structured data and a Google Business Profile that matches it. It cannot guarantee a ranking in Lincoln, and anyone who promises you a position is guessing. What I can promise is that the technical groundwork is done properly.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on what the site has to do, because a brochure site and a booking system are different jobs. I would rather look at what you need and then give you a figure than quote from a menu. My guide to what freelance web developers cost in the UK sets out the ranges.

Can you help if my current site was built by someone else and just needs fixing rather than replacing?

Sometimes, yes. It depends what is underneath it. A quick look at the existing build usually tells us whether it is worth patching or genuinely faster to start again properly.

Proof

Sites I built that are running right now

Open any of them. These are live businesses trading on the site, not mockups, and each one has a write-up of what was built and why.
